Windows antivirus.

Windows has detected spyware infection!
It is recomended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install te most up-to-date antispyware for you

Click here to protect your computer from spyware!

I find C:\window\shell.exe, printer.exe, autorun.exe, wowfx.dll, findfast.exe
I think this thing is the same as forums.pcworld.co.nz

But the solution in that post does not help. And I am a little different.
I can use regedit, task manager, but not control panel.
Trojan horse indicates the my task manager, regedit, and control panel is disabled in registry. It said it fixed it , but the same problem appear when I scan it again.

Teatimer find a process constantly trying to change my internet startpage every second

Thank you very much

623728 2007-12-23 01:46:00 Welcome to Press F1 - the log shows some infections -
Windows will now download and install te most up-to-date antispyware for you DONT DO THIS from the windows prompt.

Down load from my sig both Spyware Doctor & Spybot S&D, install both, run them. Go to Speedys Sig (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) down load and update / run Trojan Remover.

Speedy is great at Hijack files, not to sure where he is at the moment, but he will be able to tell you what to delete better than me.

What Antivirus do you run ? According to the log files you have / Had both Nortons and AVG ??
wainuitech (129)
623729 2007-12-23 01:47:00 Get rid of Nortons, since u said it expired in PM .

Run HJT again tick these entries then tick fix checked

Close browser/s .

O7 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wowfx . dll

Then click on open the misc tools button / delete a file on reboot in HJT .

Find and add wowfx . dll,spoolvs . exe,printer . exe, to it .

Not sure if it adds more than 1 file or not . But add these . It maybe one file at a time .

Then ok, then reboot . See what happens then .

623731 2007-12-23 02:27:00 When I click delete a file on reboot in HJT...
HJT just closes itself
ineedhelp2008 (13207)
623732 2007-12-23 02:31:00 hey...i just find the file that infect my computer? would that help?
I mean the zip file that I opened and get infection...the virus exe file, would that help?
ineedhelp2008 (13207)
623733 2007-12-23 03:05:00 Do what they told you, including getting Spybot and Spyware Doctor as shown in Wainuitechs signature. pctek (84)
623734 2007-12-23 04:26:00 If "delete on reboot" in HJT wont work for you, try booting in safe mode (F8) and see if you can delete them from there.

If you use "Search -> find all files/folders" make sure you have
"Search system folders" and "Search hidden files and folders" both activated

Delete the ones Speedy said - wowfx.dll, spoolvs.exe, printer.exe

Also check there is none with these names just in case - if there is delete them too

623735 2007-12-23 06:02:00 I have used all the software u guys asked me to use. And I run an AVG 7.5 test and it removed some file.
Now my teatimer no longer indicates there is program trying to change my internet startpage, but the printer.exe, shell.exe, wowfx.dll, spoolvs.exe, are still there.
And I still cannot click "properties" of my computer.
I tried to delete files in safe mode..but they come back
And To bevy121, I cannot find the files u said.
ineedhelp2008 (13207)
623736 2007-12-23 06:33:00 Did u do this??

Then click on open the misc tools button / delete a file on reboot in HJT.

Find and add wowfx.dll,spoolvs.exe,printer.exe, to it. Say Yes after you load all 3 files. Then it'll ask if u want to reboot. Reboot.

It doesnt sound like u did.
